After all, he was not the kind of innocent boy who would delete all other women's contact information for the sake of his girlfriend.
Of course, he would not deliberately flirt with other women, but would try his best to provide his girlfriend with a sense of stability and security while maintaining other friendships with the opposite sex.
Although he had not yet started dating Toyokawa Shoko, Ming Hai still treated her like a girlfriend and treated her accordingly.
If there is really something you can't tell her, then be prepared to hide it from her for the rest of your life.
There is only one year in this lifetime, so it is actually quite simple to calculate.
……
"What happened?"
Soon, Teacher Xiangzi replied to the message, and it seemed that he was just simply confused and was not panicked by his alarmist remarks.
"I happened to run into Nagasaki-san on my way home. She saw the kiss mark on my neck and knew it was you who gave it. Now she's asking me what I did to you."
It was not easy to say directly that Nagasaki Suyo was here to explain, so Minghai changed his statement to a more vague one.
Unexpectedly, Toyokawa Shoko not only did not ask too many questions, but even said generously:
"Just tell her about us. If it's Suyo-san, it's okay to let her know."
Ming Hai opened his eyes slightly wide in surprise and subconsciously looked at the girl across the table.
...Tsk tsk, he's sulking.
Easily ignoring the other party's resentful eyes, Ming Hai lowered his head and replied:
"Is it okay? You didn't want to keep it a secret from everyone in the band?"
"Since I know about your relationship, why don't I let her know about our relationship as well? That's only fair, right?"
...No, that's not fair at all.
Ming Hai sighed silently, but he didn't want to tell Xiangzi that Nagasaki Suyo came to his house to cook every day - there was only one result.
This made Xiangzi feel uneasy, and in order to avoid making her jealous, he gradually distanced himself from Nagasaki Suyo.
A choice that hurts two girls at the same time, anyone with a little emotional intelligence wouldn't be so straightforward, right?
After a brief pause, Xiangzi sent another sentence.
“It doesn’t seem like the first time I’ve said this… Narumi-kun, you’re really popular. (laughs)”
How much depth and coldness this smile contained, probably only Ming Hai, who was facing the phone, knew.
The girl's gaze, which was gentle but without a trace of smile, reappeared in his mind, causing him to subconsciously speed up his response.
"I explained it to you, and you asked me to take good care of her."
"But that doesn't stop me from being jealous, does it? Really, first it was Suyo-san, then it was Tomo-san... won't the next one be Riki-san? It's really not a good thing for important people to be too attractive."
"Why is it Shiina Riki..."
“What?! You’ve got your eyes on Mu. She’s a simple girl who’s even more naive than Deng-san!”
"...Don't make such jokes, Mr. Xiang."
"Hehehe, I just wanted to see how it feels when a girl gets jealous~ Sorry."
"Forget it. I'll let her ask you."
"…For the sake of the band, you should say it."
She sent this message with a wry smile: "In fact, we all in the band have tacitly agreed not to talk about you... It seems that only in this way can we get along harmoniously and become good partners in the band as if nothing happened."
Rather than being a love rival who likes the same person.
"Mr. Narumi, I believe in your choice. Just go ahead and do what you want to do!"
"You can explain it any way you want. Anyway, I will continue to get along with Suyo-san with a normal attitude... I also hope that she can put her personal feelings aside and play happily with everyone in the band."
She is as calm and generous as the first wife, tolerant of her bandmates who may become her rivals, and has unwavering trust in the popular man.
This is Toyokawa Shoko.
This is her pride and confidence, and her gentleness that never changes.
Ming Hai smiled and typed out the message: "I know, then I will show off to her... the feeling of someone jumping on me, and those super cheesy love words."
"You don't have to go into so much detail! And don't turn my sincere words into cheesy love talk!"
Ming Hai put down his phone and looked up.
"I have permission. Next, let me tell you what we encountered today."
Nagasaki Suyo's expression was obviously unhappy, but she couldn't just turn her face away and say she didn't want to listen. She could only purse her lips with a gloomy look and watch him pick up the bowl and chopsticks and slowly start to serve rice and pick up dishes.
“…You haven’t told me to start yet.”
This wasn't the first time she'd reminded him of this.
Nagasaki Suyo was surprisingly persistent about the atmosphere and rituals, and even now she did not forget to ask him to follow them.
Ming Hai shrugged and didn't care, just taking it as the chef's own rule.
"I'm gonna start now."
Nagasaki Suyo sighed and picked up the bowl and chopsticks: "I'll start eating too."
Amid the silent sound of dishes and chopsticks clinking, Ming Hai swallowed a mouthful of food and began to talk about how his date went today.
The first thing, of course, is that the two of them arrived early in tacit agreement.
Next is what happened after taking the group photo and meeting Takamatsu Deng.
Then, along with Gao Song Deng, the three of us toured the aquarium together, and were almost separated by the crowd on the way...
On the rooftop, after letting Takamatsu Deng sing the entire "Song of Wanting to Become a Human", he took her to the KTV to sing.
After "confessing their feelings" in the KTV and "becoming important to each other", she excitedly rushed over to him and left the "Mark of Toyokawa Shoko" on her neck.
Finally, I sent her home and ended the conversation with a goodbye hug - I won’t go into the cheesy details because I’m afraid she wouldn’t be able to eat.
"..."
-
When I was rushing to finish the work, my hands were shaking and I copied to the previous chapter. My computer also had problems. I restarted it and it took me more than ten minutes to fix it...
Why am I more unlucky than Brother Haizi?
Volume 66: Chapter Chapter Nagasaki Suyo's Amazing Wisdom
Nagasaki Suyo listened to his story in silence.
Perhaps it was because his tone was flat and lacked many sweet memories, or perhaps it was because the way he looked while eating with relish was so adorable.
She felt unexpectedly calm, just like when she saw her boyfriend taking out his cell phone, flipping through photos of his ex-girlfriend, and casually telling stories about that time - although it was a little sour, it was generally acceptable, as she knew more about him, right?
Thanks to this, her appetite was better than expected. She ate almost half of the vegetarian dishes on the table and felt full without realizing it.
After Ming Hai finished talking about the topic, Nagasaki Suyo put down her bowl and chopsticks and asked, "So, Deng-chan knows about your relationship?"
Ming Hai replied without even looking up: "Do you think she can tell? We were holding hands in front of her, and she just thought we were close."
"That's true." Nagasaki Suyo couldn't help but chuckle, her eyes showing an inadvertent tenderness, "That child...even though she's always hard to understand, she's really innocent and cute."
"Yeah, it would be great if you were like her." Ming Hai sighed deliberately.
"Ah, are you starting to dislike me now?" Nagasaki Suyo smiled at him, holding up her delicate chin with the back of her hand. Her voice was as soft and lingering as silk. "Will Deng-chan cook and clean for you? Will Deng-chan be like me, willing to do everything for you?"
...You cheered up so quickly.
Sure enough, talking it out is the best solution.
Although he felt helpless, Ming Hai was still somewhat relieved, but he still didn't spare anyone's words: "It's as if Takamatsu-san would come to my house from time to time. Aren't you the one who is being taken care of?"
"Yes, thank you very much, Master Ming Hai, for taking in a poor lost girl like me~"
Nagasaki Suyo snorted softly but did not deny the fact.
"…But even so, I am more important than Deng-chan, right? In your heart."
After a brief pause, she asked, seemingly relaxed but actually nervously.
"So what?"
Ming Hai didn't care. He was too lazy to lie about such an obvious fact - even if it might give her unnecessary thoughts.
If he was unhappy with Nagasaki Suyo, if he was really fed up with this heavy and fragile girl, he would not still be eating at the same table with her.
Whether it was out of pity or boredom, at least during the time he spent with her, Ming Hai never regretted it for a moment.
So, if I really want to say...
Putting aside Toyokawa Shoko, Nagasaki Suyo was indeed the person in the world with whom he had the best relationship.
——Of course, there is no need to say these thoughts out loud.
He is honest with his own heart, but not necessarily with others.
"Nothing, I'm fine." Nagasaki Suyo imitated him and said it lightly, like an elegant and dignified cold-faced young lady. However, the joy on her face was so great that she almost laughed out loud. She could only suppress the curve of her mouth and scolded, "Since I'm so important, can't you treat me better? You're so gentle to Deng-chan..."
"Am I not good to you?" Ming Hai raised his head from his rice bowl and looked at her with a frown, "Or do you want to be treated like Takamatsu and be treated as a child who needs my care? It's not impossible..."
"Forget it then." Nagasaki Motoyo decisively refused, but still did not give up on changing his attitude towards her, "The gentleness I'm talking about is when it comes to Xiangzi-chan's matter..."
"When we're not talking about Xiangzi, am I not nice to you?"
"..."
Seeing him answer her question in seconds without changing his expression, Nagasaki Suyo was so angry that she clenched her fists and felt the blue veins on her forehead throbbing slightly.
——This guy’s feelings for Xiangzi-chan are too firm! Is there no room for him to waver? !
She felt like a fool who was holding a shovel and preparing to dig into the corner of her neighbor's wall, but the granite stuffed in the cement made her hands numb and her heart ached. She was just doing useless work foolishly.
"But if that's the case, isn't it a bit strange..."
When Ming Hai lowered his head to eat again, Nagasaki Suyo pinched the joints of his index finger and pondered thoughtfully.
Because she suddenly realized that when Ming Hai talked about Xiangzi, his eyes did not reveal the kind of love and tenderness that came from the heart -
Of course she knew that such abstract things could not be used as a basis for judgment, and if she spoke out, people would only think she was nitpicking and refused to acknowledge the feelings between them.
But compared to Shoko's expression when she mentioned him in front of everyone, Ming Hai's reaction...
It really seems that he is not as affectionate as he appears to be.
One is a young girl in love, who sincerely expresses her closeness and dependence on him, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that something is wrong; the other is just as calm as usual, and even though she talks about their dating experiences and intimate behaviors, she still does not show much nostalgia and happiness, and gives people a more helpless and complicated feeling.
--Too strange.
Ming Hai's words and actions were completely inconsistent with the attitude he inadvertently revealed.
Thinking back now, even the smile on his face when he lowered his head to send messages to others didn't have that kind of warmth and tenderness that would make people feel sick. It was just purely interesting.
Although it is possible that he was deliberately acting himself and suppressing those emotions, in fact, his love for Xiangzi had been engraved in his bones, and he would only express it in front of her.
But Nagasaki Suyo prefers to believe in another possibility.
——Even that deep affection and persistence were all fake things deliberately acted out by Ming Hai.
"Could it be that there is some hidden secret?"
With a gleam in her eyes, Nagasaki Suyo's mind was working rapidly, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up slightly.
It was as if astonishing wisdom blossomed in her mind, and countless possibilities emerged like the Big Bang, giving rise to galaxy-like possibilities.
And in that, she saw... her own hope and future!
"Mr. Narumi, now that things have come to this, I will just ask directly."
She took a deep breath, as if she was going to give up everything, clenched her fists, and stared at Minghai with eyes that were slightly sad and determined.
"Have you been dating Xiangzi-chan?"
Ming Hai was stunned for a moment and shrugged casually.
"Just take it as it is. So, for the sake of your interpersonal relationships, you'd better not target me. Xiangzi has even planted a mark on my neck..."
"Do you like Xiangzi-chan that much? You like her so much that you can refuse anyone's advances or efforts for her!"
Nagasaki Suyo interrupted him loudly, her whole body trembling slightly, her tearless eyes clearly reflecting his expression.
